Being a Christian means having love. That is unbelievably difficult and, at the same time, incredibly simple.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
In a world wounded by conflicts, where violence is justified in God's name, it's important to repeat that religion can never become a vehicle of hatred, it can never be used in God's name to justify violence.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Although the particular inclination of the homosexual person is not a sin, it is more or less strong tendency ordered to an intrinsic moral evil, and thus the inclination itself must be seen as an objective disorder.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
The Church does not invent sins but recognizes the will of God and has to declare it. Of course, the great thing.. is that upon the Church, which has to declare the will of God in its full magnitude, in its unconditional rigor, so that man should know his true measure, is bestowed as a gift, at the same time, the task of forgiving.

I thank you, dear Brothers, for preaching the love of Christ and exhorting your people to tolerance, respect and love of their brothers and sisters and of all persons.

Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Lent stimulates us to let the Word of God penetrate our life and in this way to know the fundamental truth: who we are, where we come from, where we must go, what path we must take in life.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
The primary contribution that the Church offers to the development of mankind and peoples does not consist merely in material means or technical solutions. Rather, it involves the proclamation of the truth of Christ.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
The Gospel is not merely a communication of things that can be known - it is one that makes things happen and is life-changing. The dark door of time, of the future, has been thrown open. The one who has hope lives differently the one who hopes has been granted the gift of a new life.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
How much filth there is in the church, even among those who, in the priesthood, should belong entirely to Him. How much pride, how much self-sufficiency.
Pope Benedict XVI

Without fear we must set sail on the digital sea.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
In this regard, I reiterate that the prohibition against torture cannot be contravened under any circumstances.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Love alone makes us happy, because we live in relation, and we live to love and to be loved.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Our first experience of God is so important, we either experience Him as the police guard that wants to punish or as Creative Love that awaits.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
The Cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble labourer in the vineyard of the Lord. The fact that the Lord knows how to work and to act even with inadequate instruments comforts me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers.
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
Each generation, as it seeks to advance the common good, must ask anew: 'What are the requirements that governments may reasonably impose upon citizens, and how far do they extend? By appeal to what authority can moral dilemmas be resolved?'
Pope Benedict XVI
Image
A spiritual desert is spreading: an interior emptiness, an unnamed fear, a quiet sense of despair.
